Choking deaths on food in the US

As more Chinese students have studied abroad, more Americans have choked to death on food, a correlation of 0.993 that connects international education to domestic asphyxiation with the geographic indifference of a chart that does not know what countries are. The students enroll, the food lodges, and the data draws a line between Beijing and the American esophagus with the mathematical confidence of a coefficient that has never applied for a visa.

Chinese students studying abroad grew from about 285,000 to over 660,000 between 2010 and 2019. Choking deaths rose as the US population aged. Both are smooth upward curves across ten years: Chinese enrollment grew because China's middle class expanded, and choking deaths grew because the elderly population expanded. Neither trend has the slightest awareness of the other, and the correlation is a product of shared direction across a shared decade.

Ten years of Chinese students and choking deaths is a correlation that spans continents and mechanisms without connecting them. The students study, the elderly choke, and the chart draws its line through both with the geographical ignorance that makes this website possible. The visa is granted, the Heimlich is performed, and the correlation remains perfect and empty.
